Getting your hands on a hang is tough enough, but when you have 3 to choose from why not just play them all together at the same time? That’s what Rafael Sotomayor chooses to do whenever he’s not busy playing the hang with his band, the Art of Fusion.
You’ll notice that the hang is not actually a drum, that’s just what it’s commonly called. It’s actually a steel pan classified generically as a percussion instrument, but make no mistake, there is nothing generic about the hang. One of the most original and also rare instruments in the world today, enjoy this video of the hang, then Click Here for more instrumental music.

Good question. The hang is made only in Switzerland by the two original inventors. There is quite a waiting list and apparently you would have to travel to Switzerland to deal with them in person. Definitely respect their way of doing business, but it certainly makes it tricky for the customer. Occasionally you can find a used one for sale on ebay or on an online hang group such as the one on facebook.
A couple years ago Pantheon Steel began producing a modified version of the hang, it is called the Halo. There is a much shorter waiting list for the Halo, you can find them with a quick Google search for Pantheon Steel. Check out the page for the hang for more information, Click Here.
